Monopoly
Stern, 2001Ugh.
So I am in the midst of a Monopoly restoration. Had disassembled the Bank assembly. When putting it back together, the screw that goes in the top of the assembly into the rid for the door snapped 
I know there are screw extractor kits, but so they go that small?
Not sure how else to remove the threads, and of course nobody has bank doors in stock.
Thank in advance!

Quoted from SilverUnicorn:of course nobody has bank doors in stock.
well what do you know, LOL
I was hoping for the $24 version that Marco had, but in a last resort I guess I can do this.
I had ordered 2 from Marco, then all of a sudden they were "out of stock"
Thanks.

Provide a picture of the part with the broken screw, and hopefully someone will have an idea.
I don't know Monopoly intimately, so I can't advise until I see the part.
Quoted from barakandl:have you tried yelling at it. thats what i do when i break a screw off.
Hey, if you were in David Lynch's version of Dune that might work.

Hmmm, not yet. I will have to give that a try!

You better have a dang good drill press to drill that out for taping. Aint gonna do that with a hand drill. Know anyone with a machine shop?
What's it fastened to underneath the playfield? I've had problems where I've just ended up tearing out the t-nut underneath to get it out before.
Tap and Die.
I had a bolt like this sheer off on SG kickback flag piece. Drilled it rethreaded it and put in a new screw no need for parts just the proper tools.
Left handed drill bit will get that right out. Once it bites into the screw it will spin it right out.

I was thinking it would not be that easy I don't know anyone at a shop now. Wish I still worked at the machine shop, LOL
Quoted from benheck:Use a Dremel to cut a horizontal notch across it, then try using a flat head after WD40'ing it.
That's not a bad idea. HOLY CRAP Ben Heck replied to a post I made!!! I'm not worthy!
Quoted from yfz450:Left handed drill bit will get that right out. Once it bites into the screw it will spin it right out.
I didn't know they made such a thing, I will look into this as well.
Thanks everyone for the ideas. Hope to get this worked out soon.

That little extractor kit works like a charm.
In my job, screws get twisted off all the time. This is my go-to tool for removal.
Or you can re-drill and re-tap.
Well, I have to say a HUGE thank you to yfz450. He removed the screw for me this morning, and I will be picking up the part at lunch today.
He is the epitome of a good guy! Turns out he works right across the street from me too!
Thank you for all the suggestions. Fanatic - I might pick up a set of those for the next time 
Thanks again, and again, a HUGE thanks to yfz450!!!!
